FAA regulations require a passenger briefing prior to take off that must include the "infamous" (always satirized by comedians) latch/unlatch of the seatbelt buckle. Wonder if that topic was properly discussed with the passengers?

Having been on too many of these flights (including N350LH), the briefings are most certainly given, and they take them seriously. Even more so on tourist flights. For open door harness flights, they even give you a tool to cut your harness to escape.

Well there has to be a better way when a 20 something year old male firefighter doesn’t get out of a harness.tragic

That's for the NTSB to decide. The knife to cut your harness is right by your chest, and it's made very clear how to use it. The question is (a) did anyone pay attention to the briefing, and (b) would it have made a difference if they did.

Here's where the knife is on your body. You're attached by a screw-lock carabiner on the back of your painter's harness. You should cut the single strap holding you to the aircraft. The wrong way is if you try to cut yourself out of the harness.pic.twitter.com/yy84e0dh0v

I nearly made a similar mistake on a Boeing 747. I was minding my own business and my laptop bag nearly pressed the emergency engine shut off button next to my seat.

Is that supposed to be funny?

I'm not an aerospace engineer, but maybe they should move that button somewhere else lol
